Welcome to our June Newsletter
|
First, a note from me: from next month the KDAB Newsletter will be sent out by Sebastian Springer so I can make trouble elsewhere in my 75th year. Time for a change ;-). Please welcome him, especially in your inbox.
I bid you farewell with Anchoring Qt Quick Components Instantiated with JSON, followed by Parts 1 and 2 of Mastering the Embedded Update Process.
We also bring you QtTest Extension for VSCode, some changes to KDAB Training and this month’s video releases, including Module 4 of Introduction to Qt Widgets. Finally, we have a short selection of Events worth attending. Closing date for entry to FlutterCon is imminent, so grab a ticket while you can!

Anchoring Qt Quick Components Instantiated with JSON
Factory Design Techniques – Parts 3 & 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the final entry of the Factory Design Techniques series, which looks at simple architecture for remote real time instantiation and updating of arbitrary QML components.
Part 1 focused on software design patterns while Part 2 showed how to use QML’s positioning and layout APIs.
In this post, Parts 3 and 4 combined, Javier evaluates a technique for anchoring nested components to mitigate remote code execution risks.

QtTest Extension for VSCode
Introducing QtTest Runner
|
Qt Test is a framework designed for unit testing applications and libraries built with Qt. It provides all the standard features commonly found in unit testing frameworks, making it easier to write unit tests for Qt-based projects.
|
|
|
|
We’re happy to introduce the QtTest Runner – a Visual Studio Code extension for running Qt Tests via the test explorer pane.
Check out Sérgio Martin’s release blog.

Introduction to Qt Widgets
Module 4 is released
|
|
|
|
This latest Module from Jesper – and it’s a short one so you can get outdoors while the sun shines – focuses on Dialogs and Main Windows.
Here’s the link to the previous module, Module 3, The Whirlwind Tour, in case you missed it.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Why you need QDialog, (the same reason your Mum is not actually a stone 😉 ). The difference between a modal and non modal dialog, and how you create your own is also covered.
Watch the video. |

|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
So that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel, Jesper introduces the dialogs you will surely want to use. He also shows you the framework for implementing a wizard.
Watch the video. |

|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here Jesper looks at toolbars, docking widgets, a menu bar and menus for QMainWindow, and how they all fit together.
